We’re pleased to announce that we have been shortlisted for ‘Trust of the Year’ at the Health Service Journal (HSJ) Awards, recognising our outstanding contribution to mental and community healthcare across the county.
Published 12 August 2024
The most coveted accolade in UK healthcare, the HSJ Awards is the largest annual benchmarking and recognition programme for the health sector. An unprecedented 1,350 entries were received for this year’s Awards across all categories. But Berkshire Healthcare stood out for providing great patient care, having the best NHS staff engagement in the country, harnessing the latest technology to improve efficiency, and prioritising a culture of learning to improve patient safety.
Julian Emms, Chief Executive at Berkshire Healthcare, said: “We’re delighted to be shortlisted for Trust of the Year. We’re already recognised by the CQC as ‘Outstanding’ but it’s great to be acknowledged in this way, particularly in a year when the competition was so tough. We’re proud of our ethos of continuous improvement, our culture of inclusion and wellbeing, and our status as one of the top three digitally mature NHS trusts in England.
“But more than anything, this recognition is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our staff and reflects their significant contributions towards our vision to be a great place to get care and a great place to give care.”
HSJ editor Alastair McLellan said; “It always gives me great pleasure to congratulate our finalists at this stage of the judging process and this year is no exception.”
The HSJ awards judging panel was made up of a diverse range of highly influential and respected figures within the healthcare community, including Stephen Powis, National Medical Director, NHS England, Matthew Style, Director General, Secondary Care and Integration Department of Health & Social Care, and as well as a range of esteemed Chief Executives from NHS Trusts across the UK.
The winners will be announced on 21 November 2024.
